Panic ensues in the fictional land of Swedonia when the king passes away, leaving his unmarried son in a desperate search for a partner to secure his claim to the throne. Unbeknownst to him, baker Aaron Butcher, played by Linus Karp, is unwittingly roped into the chaos when his puppet colleague, Jenny Puppetson, submits his name for a royal wedding cake commission. The show, which co-stars Joseph Martin, blurs the lines of traditional holiday romcoms with a queer twist, promising to deliver laughter and heartfelt moments. With original music by Golden Globe-nominated Leland, this performance is a joyful exploration of queer love and silly absurdity.
